Verdict

BLAZING WIND (2) is edging closer to breaking through for his first local win and was third in what was probably a tougher lineup here 4 weeks ago. James McDonald keeps the ride and from the pole position, the pair can take this out. DIVINE MOONLIGHT (5) has looked good at the trials and is a speedy type. He is likely to be in front here despite the wide draw and is sure to be well-found in the market. Watch closely. MEEPMEEP (11) has not had much luck in a couple of starts since finishing third fresh up last November. He is likely to be ridden quietly early on and if the gaps come at the right time, he can have the last say. I AM THE BOSS (3) was beaten by a wide draw 2 starts back and then weakened late over 7f last time out after setting up a strong clip in front. He will settle back over 6f and should be motoring home late. Each way value.
